Par level
Select a minimum quantity to have on hand. When ordering you can enter the quantity you have on site and the order quantity will be pre-filled for you (Optional). (see example at right)
You sell chocolate muffins. You purchase muffins per unit (each). You set the par level in Viability to 6 units. This means that you should have 6 chocolate muffins on site each day.
At close, when you're ordering for tomorrow, you have 2 muffins left. When you place a new muffin order and input 2 as the number of muffins in stock, Viability will update the ordering quantity to 4 , so you'll have 6 on site when the delivery comes.

FAQs
Does my budget show drafts as well as sent orders?
Yes, the budget subtracts all sent, drafted and validated orders for the week, so you always know where you're at.
Can I create only the "products" category and not supplier, contact and purchase entry?
All your sent and validated orders are saved to the history for the week they are delivered. To see your orders from last week, navigate to last week and head to history. To see all your order history, go to the Order History tab in the Accounting page.
Can I delete my supplier?
Yes. You only need to click on the red button.
Can I change the order once I've sent it?
Once you've sent the order to the supplier, you can't tell the supplier of any changes through Viability. You can call the supplier to make changes to the order.
